Efficacy of Lisosan G (fermented wheat) on reactive hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery.

Introduction: post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is considered a chronic complication after gastric bypass (RYGB) impacting roughly 30 % of patients. Current treatments often focus on nutritional interventions to reduce the frequency of episodes. This prospective study evaluated the effectiveness of Lisosan G (LG), a fermented wheat-based supplement added to the diet, in mitigating PBH episodes and elucidating its mechanism of action on the gut-pancreas axis.

Respiratory neuropathology in spinocerebellar ataxia type 7.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused by deleterious CAG repeat expansion in the coding region of the ataxin 7 gene (polyQ-ataxin-7). Infantile-onset SCA7 leads to severe clinical manifestation of respiratory distress, but the exact cause of respiratory impairment remains unclear. Using the infantile-SCA7 mouse model, the SCA7266Q/5Q mouse, we examined the impact of pathological polyQ-ataxin-7 on hypoglossal (XII) and phrenic motor units.

Respiratory characterization of a humanized Duchenne muscular dystrophy mouse model.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common X-linked disease. DMD is caused by a lack of dystrophin, a critical structural protein in striated muscle. Dystrophin deficiency leads to inflammation, fibrosis, and muscle atrophy.

Pegylated-liposomes increase the efficacy of Idelalisib in lymphoma B-cells.

New drugs and technologies are continuously developed to improve the efficacy and minimize the critical side effects of cancer treatments. The present investigation focuses on the development of a liposomal formulation for Idelalisib, a small-molecule kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of lymphoid malignancies. Idelalisib is a potent and selective antitumor agent, but it is not indicated nor recommended for first-line treatment due to fatal and serious toxicities.

Assessment of Sourdough Fermentation Impact on the Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Pearl Millet from Burkina Faso.

Millet, a gluten-free cereal, has received attention for its environmental friendliness and higher protein content than other grains. It represents a staple food in many African countries, where fermentation is traditionally used for preserving food products and preparing different cereal-based products. This study aimed to assess the impact of sourdough fermentation on bioactive compounds and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of pearl millet from Burkina Faso.
